VIP Lounge, Lima Airport: P E R U..journal

3.28.07...9:50pm

lima airport vip lounge....

somehow i managed to get a ticket into the vip lounge....and well,

I now feel a little out of place.

black suits, laptops at every turn, large flat screen tv, leather couches, chairs, crystal tables,

all propping up the egos of white men with money.

I walk up to the entrance, show my VIP Pass to the front desk, and enter.

this is a strange world we live in. I have entered the world of the VIP, Very Important Person.

It appears that a very important person in this lounge is one who has money....

I don't have money, but the only plane ticket available was in first class.

now I am a very important person. what the hell.

i grab my free coffee, mango juice, snacks and find a seat.

a few awkward looks from people. I am wearing white pants with black native shipibo designs,

handmade in San Francisco Peru....and a maroon t-shirt, and sandals.

the feeling in this lounge is a feeling one has at a funeral

a feeling of wasted life. a stale emptiness. lack of emotion...of feeling...of life.

what happened to the days when the very important person was the person with the most Wisdom.

I have always been curious to know what went on behind the private closed doors of the airport VIP lounge

...and now I know.

free food and drinks with fine luxurious ass kissing.

it would be nice to have a friend, or a real human here to sit with and talk....

i can not imagine having anything in common with the people in this place.

i sit here alone with my laptop computer, coffee, and analyze the passing moments.

-----I'm going to go see if there is internet available in this place......goodbye for now.
